Thank you for the explanation.  From the message that I had
seen on their webpage, I thought something must have
happened.

Personally, I dislike their policy.  When I do business, the
terms are agreed upon.  Even in an auction format, a buyer
and seller agree upon a price.  Mangaya is a business, and
while it is expected for a business to maximize their
profits, they should follow standard business practices.
In this case, they should either sell their merchandise for
a stated price after the buyer has agreed to purchase it,
or place the merchandise up for auction.  Altering the terms
of a sale after the transaction has been agreed upon does
not constitute a "fair" business practice, in my opinion.

I am uncomfortable with their current policy because I am
uncertain at what price I am purchasing a cel.  Will it be
for the "stated" price, or will it be for the "bid" price
that I had indicated that I was willing to pay?  Remember,
I have no way of verifying the number of bidders for a 
particular cel, and if I'm in an auction I think I have a 
right to know before agreeing to any purchasing terms.

Having said that, isn't that Ranma 1/2 cel of the Tendo
family cool?!?  I've never seen a cel of their family
before, and I'm REALLY tempted to splurge.  But I'm going
to end up bidding on AniMiko's auction instead...  at 
least I know what I'm getting into when I do business
with her, and I've never had any problems.  I'm not
comfortable with Mangaya's policy, and I think I'm going
to hear what sort of experiences everyone else has had
before risking five hundred (or more) dollars.
